What a great idea turning those sweet dresses into a purse or bag. I have several items from my twin girls that are now almost 7 that I would love to refab into something else. I hope we can see the finished product. Michelle :)

Tammy...over the years i have had many visions of beauty....some work some dont...but thats part of the learning curve and the fun..right? i have found it very helpful to make a paper version first....well at least the pattern anyhow...its easy really ...fiddly perhaps but worth it in the long run as you can throw away many paper dummies before you get exactly what it is you want...i look forward to seeing your little bag and those pics are gorgeous..i knew it was Rachel..straight up on the left...interesting...have fun my friend x :)

I still need to add some size, it almost fits across my bed now, I think two more lengthwise rows will make it a nice size for a topper and two or three rows added to the length should finish it. plan to do a simple border of some sort but haven't thought too much about that yet.

While I do love this project, I feel my interest waning again. Though I have no doubt it will be my 'go to' project once winter hits. It's lovely to have over my lap as I work on it.

I really want to inspire people to be kinder to themselves, Breathe deeply, look around, connect with Nature and indulge their creativity but I'm just me. Can I do that?

My Spirit is stirring.
Change is afoot. I think there is a truth about to dawn on me. I can feel it, the energy is changing.
Last week I was impatient, now I'm feeling a little more relaxed and gracious, waiting for things to be revealed and to let them settle on me.
Everything in divine time.
